Spyder/ carpart4u Headlights/ OEM comparison *NOW with HID!

[Ukrman]

One thing I noticed that the new lights are brighter but the pattern looks much narrower, and I feel like you don't see enough in the periphery. Can you adjust for that?

[fowljesse]

I don't know what you mean by that. It lights up about 300° left to right.

the pictures on ebay made the back look kind of green and old. is that accurate?
any flaws in the workmanship?
is there a hole to release the inevitable moisture (the new mazda 6 has a tiny hole in the headlight)

thanks

They are Black, and good quality (No swirls in the plastic, seams, or dips/ bulges indicating uneven hardening. I looked carefully, and am very impressed. They are better made than the Civics I have on the other car. I'll look again for a moisture vent. I didn't think to look for that.
My full write-up will be up in a new thread in a few minutes!

you can see that especially from pics comparing stock high beams to the new high beams. The beam is much brighter in the projectors, but its very concentrated in the middle and seems like it doesn't disperse much light to the periphery. Like if a deer would be on a side of the road, you wouldn't see it (BTW we have a big deer problem in NJ, too many of them and don't have anywhere to live)

Stupid wildlife!
I thought that's what you meant. The peripheral is brighter than stock. I think It didn't show up as well because the camera automatically compensated for the difference in brightness, and exposed the OEM shots longer, allowing the dimmer peripheral light to show up better.
I got an idea (Here we go ) affix a tiny mirror just in front of the middle of the projector to reflect light 90° to the sides for serious peripheral vision. You could hide the mirror in something shaped like a bullet.
I kinda what to do this, now

maybe get some dental mirrors lol.... might work

You should use a fixed shutter speed, Fstop and ISO - put it on manual mode

in my opinion, it would look a lot better like this:

without it looks "spacy"^^

Drools

[SmoothMX3]

But it's not like that. So... lmao!

[onlytrueromeo]

Finally the pictures are up, really thanks Jesse for doing such an awesome job for us. As far as the lighting everything seems pretty clean and bright as well. About the LED, i knew they are using LED bulb 194. And they have a lot of different color of LEDs on the website for a dollar or so each. I get some people that pm'ed me about the GB. And i am going to do it in the correct way since i know you guys have some bad experiences in GB before. I will contact Jeff the admin to confirm and request for a GB. See if i need to pay or register any vendors account with him before posting the GB. Please be patient and that will be up asap. As i said the price is still going to be 198 shipped and 50 dollars on top for the HID kit. Let me set it up first, thanks Jesse for all the work.

I totally agree. If I knew what that meant, or how to do it, I totally would
We have a Canon EOS RebelXti 40D SLR Digital. I thought she knew more about it.
